NO MONEY FOR THE JUBILEE.
Sir John Mac.lOnald's County Refuses to

OTTAWA, Ont, June 26.-Great ex-
citement prevails here over the Carleton
County Council in refusing to vote an ap-
preparation of 500 towards paying the
expenses of the Jubilee celebration
which is to be general throughout Can
ada on the 30th inst.
Carleton County is the headquarters
of the Orange organization in the Do
minion. Ii is the county which returns
Sir John Macdonald as its representa-
tive i'm Parliament, as well as the me
tropolitan county. The degree of its 10y
atty to Queen Victoria was clearly dem
onstrated in the action of the County
Council last night, when Councilman
Cummings sesOlution to vote an appro-
priation of $500 for the Jubilee celebra-
ton was thrown out for want of n sec
onder Concerning this matter the Free
Press last night says:
The County Council of the exceed
ingly loyal county of Carleton refused
to entertain a motion proposing to grant
a sum of money i'm aid of the celebration
of Her Majesty's Jubilee. Had such a
course been taken by the corporation of
Cork or Limerick no doubt the fact
would have been heralded abroad as a
proof of the utter disioyalty of the Irish
people. What, then, shall be said of the
| county of Carleton, the metropolitan
county of the Dominion, which is repre-
sented in Parliament by the Premier of
| the country and the leader of the Loyal
with big II Tory party: If Sir John
Macdonald is Loyal or a grateful man
he will refuse To represent Carleton
| County any longer. Notwithstanding
all the honors that Her Majesty has been
showering upou Sir John, his cOnstitu-
ents refuse To grant a dollar of money
towards celebrating the Queens Jubilee.
Ii has often been said that the most dis
| loyal part of the average Tory Is his
pocket and the action of the Carleton
| County Council indicates that there Is
some truth in the saying. Can II lie pos
sibIe that the members of the County
| Council have refused To vote anything
for the Queens Jubilee. as a protest
against Sir John Macdonald's euloSy of
the Duke of Newcastle in the House al
Commons few days ago: At all events
